Terminal apparatus and communication method

A terminal apparatus configured to communicate with a base station apparatus, the terminal apparatus comprising:

• radio reception circuitry configured to receive:
• downlink control information (DCI),
• a first predetermined downlink signal and a second predetermined downlink signal,
• at least one of a first physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and a second PDSCH, and
• a first demodulation reference signal (DMRS) and a second DMRS;
• and
• signal detection circuitry configured to perform a demodulation of at least one of the first PDSCH based on the first DMRS and the second PDSCH based on the second DMRS, wherein
• the first predetermined downlink signal is a first channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) or a first synchronization signal block (SSB), and the second predetermined downlink signal is a second CSI-RS or a second SSB,
• the DCI includes:
• antenna port information indicating one or more DMRS antenna ports, and
• a first transmission configuration indication (TCI) and a second TCI,
• an antenna port used for transmitting the first DMRS and an antenna port used for transmitting the second DMRS are included in the one or more DMRS antenna ports, and each of the one or more DMRS antenna ports is included in a first DMRS antenna port group or a second DMRS antenna port group,
• the first TCI indicates a quasi-colocation (QCL) between the first predetermined downlink signal and the first DMRS, and the second TCI indicates a QCL between the second predetermined downlink signal and the second DMRS, and
• in a case where the one or more DMRS antenna ports are included in only one of the first DMRS antenna port group and the second DMRS antenna port group, the first DMRS and the second DMRS are included in the one of the first DMRS antenna port group and the second DMRS antenna port group, the first PDSCH and the second PDSCH include same downlink data, the radio reception circuitry receives:
• the first DMRS based on the first TCI and the first predetermined downlink signal, and
• the second DMRS based on the second TCI and the second predetermined downlink signal, and the signal detection circuitry performs:
• a demodulation of the first PDSCH based on the first DMRS, and
• a demodulation of the second PDSCH based on the second DMRS.
